This day’s match drew great attention as ‘Meho Daejeon’, which could be the last. It was the first time in 774 days that the two players met at the stadium on this day. On December 8, 2020, Ronaldo, who was a member of Juventus, faced Messi, who was playing in Barcelona, in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) and won 3-0. At the time, Ronaldo laughed as he scored multiple goals through PK.
The two players showed off their friendship by putting their arms around each other during the game. Both of them scored goals and showed the performance worthy of ‘Meho Daejeon’. Even though it was a friendly match rather than a fierce match like in the past, fans recalled memories while watching the two players play in the same stadium.
The two players also cherished the meeting after a long time. In an SNS post, Ronaldo shared a picture taken with Messi shouldering with the phrase, “I’m happy to be back on the pitch. And it’s nice to see old friends.” Messi also remembered the day by sharing a scene of shaking hands with Ronaldo through his SNS story.
